How to ride bike in Chennai without getting caught?

The following account is months of painstaking research and notes-not all of them were experienced by me-notably women and bike episodes.

Handy guide for bike riders in Chennai to save their hard earned money to spend in Sathyam Cinemas than some where else:

Not an exhaustive list(though)
  • Dont speed up on an empty stretch of road
  • Dont raise accelerator in a good stretch of road
  • Beware of signal points and zebra crossings
  • Always stand one or two lines back of in zebra line
  • Travel with an older guy preferably age 50+
  • Dont travel with persons equal your age if your age is between 20-35
  • All the more dont travel with persons your same age of opposite sex in ECR
  • If possible travel with your mom, you would never be caught
  • Dont keep left, go right lane, many station themselves in the right side
  • Look out for "white" signs 500ms ahead using telescopic vision,slow down deliberately
  • Never speed up in a road which you have not traversed for over a week-you would not know danger spots
  • Simplest one- wear a helmet-that reduces 75% of being caught
  • Travel in car if possible, cars are rarely caught
  • Travel alongside public transport MTC buses,they offer cover all time
  • Travel alongside share autos, they always get caught-giving you time for distraction
  • Never park your vehicle anywhere in road,be in bike all the time-ask the shopkeeper to get tea,tender coconut to bike
  • Dont sport your company badge-that doubles up the possibility of fine levy
  • Studies prove the possibilty of getting caught exponentially increases when travelling with a girl who sits double side than single side
  • Be double cautious on ECR,OMR-those are plum areas of possibilities
  • Dont be very slow near speed breakers-alert alert
  • Have all the xerox of vehicle papers handy-not under the seat cover, but mostly in tank covers
I am a bike rider for the past 10 months having rided along many stretches in Chennai, no offence to regulators.

Feel free to add more points to the same.
